Christian Brothers Academy is very proud and pleased to announce that 11 seniors have been recognized for their outstanding academic achievement in the National Merit Scholarship program.

Over 1.6 million American students took the PSAT as a qualifying test last October; the 50,000 highest scorers were identified in April. Of that number, 34,000 students who demonstrated their outstanding potential for academic success on this test have been named nationally as Commended Students. This places them in the top 5% of all students who took the PSAT’s.

The following members of the Class of 2018 have been named as Commended Scholars:

Of the 50,000 highest scorers, 16,000 were designated as the highest achievers and have been named nationally as National Merit semifinalists. From this number, 7,400 will ultimately be named Merit Scholarship winners.
